Had a fabulous weekend! Spoke to a good friend last night who now lives in Kentucky and we laughed until our faces hurt. She always has the funniest stories about her job to tell.
I love to laugh. It truly makes the world go around.
Went to the mall Saturday to Christmas shop. Some people hate the season. The crowds, the tinny music, the shopping, the hustle and bustle. And that is certainly their decision and feelings.
I personally love:
~hearing the beautiful, uplifting once a year Christmas music,
~feeling the closeness of the crowds yet being apart from them,
~listening to the myriad of voices in different conversations,
~that ‘AHA’ moment when you find that perfect gift,
~sneaking a sample of the Great American Chocolate Chip Cookies that they put out with those little toothpicks in them,
~running into good friends,
~buying a big diet coke to sip on while meandering through the many shops with all the pretty things,
~smelling the scents of Christmas – cinnamon, eggnog, vanilla (my favorite),
~sitting at one of the little food courts to sneak a peak of the first chapter of the book you just bought.
Depends upon your perception, I guess, and nothing is wrong with the way a person feels! Maybe I am just weird but I have always believed in the live and let live mantra.
I don’t have to have ‘things’ to make me happy. Make no mistake about it ~ I like them, I want them. But what I need is love, laughter, music, a good movie, books, candles, and bubble bath. I am pretty cheap and pretty easily entertained.
Hey! With an MP3 player and world peace thrown in, sounds like a Christmas wish list!
Yo, Santa!
What do you need in life?
